Hi, Does the old Auto Fold Side Mirrors module work with this HRV model?

Some observation on RS eHEV. Fellow RS owners pls give yr input as well-
1) When Petrol engine kicks in to charge the battery aggressively, its super noisy like a bulldozer.
2) At cruising speed, cabin is very quiet, mostly hear road noise.
3) When apply breaks on a sudden stop, there is a wining noise, I suppose this is for break regen. It is also a bit annoying.

Share yr inputs as well..

No challenge on efficiency, true. I feel 800km full tank is easily achievable. I have crossed 500km with 3 bars of fuel left.

My major problem is how the cruise control catches for speed. It applies very harsh acceleration. That instant, the noise is unbearable. If I cancel cruise and hit the pedal myself slowly, its smooth.

Generally for rush hour traffic, at 30 to 40km/h, its always on EV mode.

I have not counted, but I feel approx 10 mins. But when you're cruising in slow traffic, the regen helps to keep topping up battery quickly. During this period of drive, never hear the engine sound.
One thing I notice is immediately upon reach reaching a stop, the petrol engine immediately goes off.

For my regular city driving I use paddle shift to set regen at Level 2.
Because of acc, I very rarely apply my breaks in between drives.
For normal braking, yes, the brake feels harder to me compared to my City, but the feel on foot is natural and nice. I press for a tad bit, and let brake hold takeover.

FC on the Hybrid RS model is insane. This is my last 3 days driving after fueling on Saturday (refer attachment).

This has been mostly driving in city with mixed - straight drive and stop and go traffic.

With these numbers, 800km per full tank is easily achievable.

One thing I have changed in my driving habit is to cut off ACC when the leading car departures at faster speed. I accelerate gradually to allow the car to pick up speed smoothly and not too harsh.

I wonder driving continuously on the highway like Plus would get me better or lower FC.

BTW to reconfirm, the roll down window feature using the Key Fob is missing in HRV right? Civic FE has that. Also no RCTA in Honda Sensing.

BTW, just to update Carlinkit 4.0 works well on HRV to get Wireless Android Auto. Just got mine yesterday.

Are there OEM aftermarket solutions for Front Parking Sensor and BSM (on the A pillar inside like X70) for the new HRV?

Its super small. Since it works only on the right side usb, I used glue tag and stick it on the side panel near to the foot rest.

There is small lag, of course usb connection is better, but having it wireleslly auto connect in 30s of ignition is just so convenient.

I have ordered 70mai tpms lite. Any suggestion on the best place to put it. Some say not to put on the dashboard, as prolonged exposure to sun can damage the plastic housing. Thoughts?

Been using it for a week. Generally fine, but there's a lag when u want to search for place on Waze. Typing response not so good. Can't beat the speed of wired android auto.
